Abstract

Primary malignant carcinoid tumor of the esophagus is exceptionally rare. We report a case of primary malignant carcinoid tumor of the esophagus in a 62-year-old man, which was suspected to be leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma on barium esophagogram. The final diagnosis of malignant carcinoid tumor was made on histopathological and immunohistochemical studies of surgically operated specimen. The patient remains in clinical remission 80 months following surgery and post-operative radiotherapy.
